I need to go to Japan for work soon and fully expect to be one of the few not wearing a mask. But I may get a pass, being a “Guy Gin”.

So, is Spiked funded by Pfizer?

I don’t see any denial:

Well now. I’ve seen spiked take a few stances that raised an eyebrow. I accept that as journalistic freedom, but Frasers Myers misplaced assault on Andrew Bridgen was more of two raised eyebrows and pursed lips.

Brendan O’Neill was actually on AntiSocial to defend Andrew Bridgen, and did a pretty good job of defending Andrew Bridgen’s right to say what he said, but did not defend what he said.

The crazy thing was that the show was about what Andrew Bridgen had said, and the BBC contacted Andrew Bridgen before the show to get a statement from him, and Andrew Bridgen offered to appear on the show himself to defend himself, but the BBC wouldn’t allow it!

Fraser Myers came across as a pig ignorant, crude and aggressive bully.

Andrew Bridgen made him look a fool.

Spiked is rapidly losing any pretence at independent journalism.

This article https://www.spiked-online.com/2022/09/02/no-the-covid-jab-is-not-dangerous-for-pregnant-women/ from last September rang the bells for me.

There is ample medical evidence that the jab is extremely dangerous for pregnant women and foetuses. For Spiked to advise otherwise on matters they know nothing about is criminal.

Send them a number of papers on the matter. No response.

They may well have blood on their hands.

Stopped my sub immediately. Spiked can go take a running.

“Woke issues don’t matter to the public, claims Keir Starmer” 

He continued “…I personally asked everyone in a Gastropub in Islington, and they all said they didn’t care”.

I have a feeling that the blunder is yours.

I think he’s right in the sense that most people don’t think “trans rights” should be a priority for government, but perhaps that’s not what he meant. One suspects what he really means is “dear general public, don’t worry about the creep of woke madness, it’s not important, just fringe stuff, focus on what really matters, so that woke madness becomes embedded before you all realise it, and then it will be too late, and this will keep the coalition of the fringes that is New Labour together”.

“Number of chargers offering free electricity falls by almost 40%, according to the Telegraph.”

It’s not actually “free” is it – like all “free” things, someone is paying – that someone will most likely be someone who doesn’t have an electric car. You could re-write the headline as “Subsidy for rich electric car users is reducing as it’s unaffordable”.

“Starbucks sacks trans worker who accused female customer of being transphobic in ‘confrontation over being misgendered’”

It goes a lot deeper than this! It’s an outright campaign by tptb (wef, who,etc) to divide us! Look closely at those videos and all that is seen is ordinarily civil people being led into hatred . My heart bleeds.
Divided we fall and are easier to control one against the other! Gender and race are now the most powerful weapons of mass control in big brothers arsenal!

“Anheuser-Busch CEO blames Bud Light boycott on ‘misinformation’”

So, 90%+ of Budweiser’s loyal customers of more than 100 years, ordinary solid hard working class Americans, are wrong?

Most of the narrative nowadays is that the ordinary solid working class people are, by definition, wrong. Anheuser-Busch’s fault is to make that attitude too obvious.

Morning all!

Not behind a paywall and worth a read..I like to see stuff like this in the MSM, and hopefully it will get people thinking and maybe looking at alternative stuff…🤞
(..everybody except Fraser Myers, that is..LOL)!

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is under fire after renewing its grant to research bat coronaviruses with EcoHealth Alliance — the non-profit at the center of the Covid lab leak theory.
New York City-based EcoHealth — run by the British zoologist Peter Daszak — announced today that the research will resume nearly three years after it was ‘terminated’ by then-president Donald Trump….

Daszak!
All this gain-of-function research is illegal:
https://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread1326898/pg1 [7 mins.]
And Daszak is at the fulcrum of this RICO (racketeering) case, making this staggering statement:
“We need to increase public understanding [fear?] of the need for medical counter-measures such as a pan-corona virus vaccine. A key driver is the media and the economics will follow the hype. We need to use that hype to our advantage to get to the real issues. Investors will respond if they see profit at the end of the process.”

Interesting short video about vaccine injury payment in Australia….and good (again) to see it being aired on MSM….

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbSk3WODhjM

Here are some figures for Australia..how do you think they ‘square’ the vaccination campaign with the numbers of deaths..particularly in 2022?…

There were a total of 15,884 deaths which occurred and were registered by 31 January 2023 and had COVID-19 written as a term on the death certificate…
Deaths due to COVID-19 by year..
2020…….906
2021……..1.350
2022…….9.986….
2023……..397

The median age for those who died from COVID-19 was 85.6 years (83.9 years for males, 87.6 years for females).

https://www.abs.gov.au/articles/covid-19-mortality-australia-deaths-registered-until-31-january-2023

There are over 2000 applications waiting…and yet looking at the stats, only @1.500 people under 70 ‘died of Covid’… Whichever way you look at it, in my opinion, it seems an utter failure at best, and could be catastrophic if reported injuries (and who knows how many deaths) keep accumulating?

The Absolute Truth with @EmeraldRobinson
CDC director Rochelle Walensky announced her resignation soon after Dr. Naomi Wolf and Amy Kelly uncovered her lies regarding the Covid jab being safe for pregnant women to take.

3rd August 2021..
Every aspect of Europe’s smear campaign against the Oxford / AstraZeneca jab has now fallen apart. The AZ jab is incredibly effective, and it is just as safe as the Pfizer jab. Baseless claims against the jab have done immense damage, says @FraserMyers

Fraser Myers 😂 The man who only realised he had fucked up live on TV and got schooled, when he was live on TV.

If Astrazenica is so Safe and effective then do explain all the class action lawsuits in the UK, Australia, Canada etc, etc.

You are comedy gold 😂😂👍

GB News “did not do enough to protect viewers from harmful content.”

I do not need protecting from any television programmes. If I do not like what is being broadcast I switch off. Having said that I no longer watch live TV and certainly would never go back to a mainstream television channel for “news.”

Obviously I am expecting an apology to be demanded of that Adoha woman for her cheap and nasty racist comments on Saturday but I do not for one minute expect anything to happen.

Stating facts as Naomi Wolf did in calling the jabathon akin to mass murder is not allowed apparently and GB News will be censored for it.

Free speech in Britain. FFS!
